Great, It's the Poseidon Trident-We're Saved

As the king of the Xebel Kingdom, Nereus was able to prioritize the greater good and allow his daughter to marry Orm.

But this does not mean that he was a cold-hearted monarch.

In reality, Nereus loved his daughter very much. The reason he agreed to the marriage alliance with Atlantis was because Orm himself was handsome, of high status, and extremely ambitious.

He saw ambition as a good thing, and Orm's desire to invade the land coincided with his own.

Under various circumstances, he finally agreed to the marriage.

But now, a monstrous, grotesque deep-sea fish that looked like a disaster had abducted his daughter, which he found unbearable. Just seeing Ripjaws holding Mera's soft little hand made Nereus feel as disgusted as if he had eaten barnacles.

This is beyond just a case of blond hair and ghost fire.

It's worse!

It's roughly equivalent to a parent in traditional China watching their daughter bring a chimpanzee home, and then lovingly praising how powerful their "black brother" is.

Nereus nearly suffered a cardiac arrest, wishing he could chop that dead fish Ben to pieces on the spot.

What's even more infuriating is that the dead fish carried its daughter into the Dark Sea, a place of exile where death is almost certain. Mera is probably doomed.

With nowhere to vent his anger, Nereus turned his attention to the Fishermen Kingdom.

"The Fishermen Kingdom must give both sides an explanation for this matter!"

He spoke angrily, his full head of red hair standing on end.

Upon hearing this, Orm slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile.

He didn't really have any feelings for Mera; she was just a beautiful woman, and her death didn't matter. The important thing was that his goal had been achieved, and now Nereus was completely on his side. As long as both sides put pressure on each other, he wasn't afraid that the Fishermen Kingdom King would refuse.

When the armies of the three kingdoms press on, they will first conquer the Brine Kingdom, and then launch an attack to submerge the land!

Orm envisioned the future.

At this moment, Vulko, who was deep in thought, suddenly let out a strange hum.

What is that?

Vulko, with his aging eyes, gazed at the Dark Sea in the distance. The seawater there was very dense, the currents were black, and the visibility was very low, like a thick fog in the mountains.

He gazed into the distance, and it seemed as if a ghost was lingering there, though he couldn't make it out clearly.

"Perhaps they are the Trench, who gathered here after smelling the presence of living people?"

"Orm said."

"Those beasts!" Nereus cursed through gritted teeth. The thought that his daughter might have already perished in the bellies of those monsters filled him with rage, and he wished he could rush in immediately and slaughter them all.

But he knew it was impossible.

The Xebel Kingdom's forces cannot exert their full strength in the Dark Sea, and no one knows the Dark Sea situation there. Acting rashly could very well open Pandora's Box, releasing all the monsters from the Abyss.

At that time, I'm afraid all seven seas will suffer.

"The numbers seem to be increasing," Vulko frowned slightly, "And they seem to be getting closer."

"Don't talk nonsense, Vulko. You know these monsters can't leave the Dark Sea." As soon as Orm finished speaking, he sensed something was wrong. The black shadows were getting closer and closer, rising and falling with the sea like black waves.

The seawater smelled of fish and burning.

"A corpse?"

Thousands upon thousands of Trench corpses floated past them, leaving everyone speechless and frozen in place.

If it were a living Trench army, they might have already taken up arms and begun to fight back, but what is drifting in now are the corpses of the Trench, which is far too bizarre.

"Who has the ability to kill so many Trench?"

"Could it be that the sea god has been resurrected?"

Vulko rushed forward and grabbed a floating corpse. The corpse's features were already blurred, and its body was charred black as if it had been burned by a raging fire. Looking around, almost all the corpses were like this.

"There's no such thing as a sea god." Orm, not wanting his plans to go awry, immediately rejected the idea.

"The most urgent thing is to head to the Fishermen Kingdom immediately!" He flicked the reins, ready to set off immediately, but Nereus beside him remained motionless as if frozen in place.

"Wait! King Orm, why rush into action? Why not stay and see what's happening in the Dark Sea? If there's any danger, we can prepare in advance."

Nereus gazed into the depths of the Dark Sea, lost in thought.

"Perhaps Mera still alive..."

Suddenly, something changed in the Dark Sea. Before this, the only uncertain factor was that Mera had entered the Dark Sea with that Fishermen Race.

He knew his daughter's strength well. She could handle a dozen or so Trench, but this number was definitely not something she could defeat.

The only possibility is that of the Fishermen Race.

Judging from the images Orm showed him, the opponent did indeed possess formidable strength, capable of eliminating a large number of guards and seizing the Mother Box in a short period of time.

Just then, a faint yellow light appeared deep within the dark current, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"It really is him!"

Vulko exclaimed in surprise, clearly recognizing the light-emitting device on Ben's head, but quickly became puzzled. "Why are there three people? They look kind of familiar."

Nereus also showed a surprised expression.

It's unbelievable that a Fishermen Race could possess such immense power.

Dude, if you're so capable, you should have said so earlier!

If I had known you were this awesome, I would have betrothed Mera to you long ago!

What?

Ugly?

Nonsense!

Is this ugly? It's clearly distinctive!

That flat head looks like it can withstand a good beating, and those densely packed sharp teeth look quite imposing!

Suddenly, he found Ripjaws more pleasing to the eye and began planning to break off his engagement with Orm and then make Ripjaws Teeth his son-in-law.

With this great general by my side, it would be like having the Fishermen Kingdom as an ally. Then, I could easily turn around and deal with the Atlantis Kingdom, and wouldn't I become the master of the seas?

The true line of Atlantis is now in the Xebel Kingdom!

"That sinner is still alive!"

"All of you, listen to my command! Follow me and bring the traitors of the Fishermen Kingdom to justice!"

Veins bulged on Orm's forehead, and with a swing of his trident, he led his army out in a charge.

However, before he could move, another trident was placed in front of him, blocking his path.

"King Nereus, what are you doing?"

"King Orm, I think this matter is probably different from what we thought. Mera doesn't seem to have been kidnapped," Nereus said, his eyes darting around and his old face flushed.

"Yeah?"

Orm snorted coldly, glanced at him, and continued, "So, Princess Mera's decision to steal the Mother Box along with this sinner was also voluntary?"

Nereus's face froze, and he was speechless.

The Mother Box is a treasure jointly guarded by the seven kingdoms of Atlantis. To be honest, this crime is far more serious than cuckolding Orm.

He sighed, said nothing more, and followed Orm, leading the army towards the glowing spot.

Upon stepping into the Dark Sea, everyone immediately felt the water pressure increase significantly, and the seawater became incredibly viscous, as if they were deeply immersed in a thick fluid, making their movements much slower.

"Sinners of the Fishermen Kingdom, surrender immediately!"

That's what they say, but Orm IV didn't give Ben any time to surrender. He rode on the Azure Dragon, bent down and thrust at the eerie light in the darkness. The sharp trident sliced through the dark water curtain, aiming straight for Ben's head.

Clang!

Sparks exploded in the seawater.

Orm felt as if his blow had struck a rock, the shock making his hand go numb.

Looking down again, he saw his trident pressed against the jagged left shoulder armor of the Ripjaws tooth, unable to advance an inch, while the ugly monster grinned, revealing a ferocious and terrifying smile.

"You..."

Orm was startled by his appearance and instinctively shrank back.

Ben scoffed.

"You don't even have the strength to hit someone, yet you want to be king?"

He saw Orm charging towards him with his trident from afar, but he didn't even bother to dodge.

Due to the fusion of Brine genes, some parts of his body have grown hardened carapaces, making him look like he's wearing half a Light Armor. Even in the parts without carapaces, the defensive capabilities of his body scales have been significantly enhanced.

Orm's attack power is really not enough to break through the defense.

He grabbed Orm's trident with his backhand, and before Orm could react, he swung him around in the water before slamming him out.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!

Orm charged forward, and Orm was instantly killed.

Nereus was becoming increasingly pleased with Ben; such power was practically a reincarnation of the sea god.

It's important to know that although Orm may look somewhat frail, he is actually the most outstanding and powerful warrior in Atlantis. If it really came down to a fight, Nereus wouldn't dare say that anyone in the entire Seven Seas could defeat Orm in a one-on-one battle.

But even with all this, Orm was surprisingly at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

It's a pity he stole the Mother Box, otherwise he would have been a really good son-in-law.

"Mera, come here quickly, get away from that criminal who stole the Mother Box!"

Feeling a pang of regret for Ben, Nereus immediately shouted at Mera.

"Father, don't worry, he has the Poseidon Trident."

"What, the Poseidon Trident?" Nereus's eyes lit up immediately, only then noticing that Ben was holding a trident radiating golden ripples in his left hand.

Great! It's Poseidon Trident! We're saved!

Without a second's hesitation, the moment Nereus saw Poseidon Trident, he immediately pulled on the seahorse's reins, turned around, and hurled a harpoon at Orm.

Orm never dreamed that his ally would betray him so suddenly. Caught off guard, he had a lock of hair cut off and barely managed to dodge the attack.

"Nereus, what are you doing?!"

He was so angry that he stopped using honorifics altogether.

"Orm, it is you who are overstepping your bounds. Don't forget, anyone who can wield this hammer, no, anyone recognized by Poseidon Trident, is the common king of our seven kingdoms!" Nereus said solemnly, as if Orm were a traitor who had accidentally gone astray.

But secretly he was overjoyed.

Mera, my good daughter, you did a wonderful job!

Without saying a word, he actually brought back a sea god as his son-in-law; he was absolutely thrilled.

This instantly elevated the status of the Xebel Kingdom above that of Atlantis.

This isn't just blond hair, this is practically a golden thigh!

"Bullshit! What Poseidon? He's just a criminal who stole the Mother Box!"

"What criminal? As the god of the sea, everything in the seven seas belongs to him. What's wrong with taking a broken box from his own home?" Nereus said dismissively. "But you, Orm, if I remember correctly, you're not the true king of Atlantis. You're not the only rightful Inheritors to Atlantis."

"Don't mention that bastard in front of me!" Orm immediately lost his composure.

He was burning with rage, and his gaze toward Ben was filled with hatred.

"I'll kill this traitor first, then I'll get rid of that bastard!"

After saying that, Orm attacked Ben again, but this time Ben was prepared to fight back.

If a child is being naughty, it's probably because they deserve a beating.

They'll behave after a good scolding.

With a flick of his black fish tail, the scales on his waist opened and closed, releasing tremendous water pressure to propel him forward.

In an instant, the seawater seemed to explode, and the gray figure shot out like a torpedo, leaving a white trail in the deep sea.

With a flick of his wrist, Ben sent the golden trident spinning through his fingers.

Orm was completely caught off guard.

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then Ben's figure disappeared from his sight. The next moment, a blurry shadow approached urgently, and the powerful aura and water pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.

The next moment, a golden light flashed, stinging Orm's eyes.

He hurriedly raised his trident to try and defend himself, but the once indestructible trident was now as fragile as a broken tree branch, instantly severed by Ben's weapon.

The golden Poseidon Trident stopped in front of Orm; just one more centimeter forward and it would pierce his brain and take his life.

This time, Orm was truly convinced.

His pride, like a weapon in his hand, shattered completely in front of Ben.

Their weapons were inferior, and their strength was far inferior as well.

Utter defeat.

He took a deep look at Ben, who was so close to him, and a profound sense of defeat welled up inside him.

"I... I give up." He closed his eyes, as if accepting his fate.

"Just kill me."

"Why would I kill you?" Ben retracted his trident.

He had no intention of killing Orm, as it would not benefit him. Now that the Poseidon Trident belonged to him, it could be said that the Seven Seas were his kingdom and territory.

Kill Orm, then find a capable but incompetent tool to manage things?

Relying on Arthur?

Forget it, that idiot is just a seafood version of Thor, his brain has been marinated in beer for ages.

If we let him be king, Atlantis will be doomed sooner or later.

Ben reached out and placed his hand on Orm's shoulder, saying solemnly:

"Orm, the organization needs you!"

Orm:???

Dude, what else would you do if you didn't kill me?!

Orm didn't understand what Ben was trying to do.

"Don't understand? No problem, you'll understand after reading this." Ben stepped aside, revealing Atlanna hadn't spoken until now.

"Mother?!"

"My mother is still alive? Is he only sparing my life because of her? Between him and my mother..."

Orm's eyes widened, his gaze shifting back and forth between Ben and Atlanna.

Now he understood.

Ben: You know nothing!
